    I’m confused… Mine can already do that?

      Your phone does QI wireless charging. This is not currently supported by any smartphone, smart accessory or wireless earbuds/watch in existence today.

        I think they were more commenting that some phones already do reverse Qi charging for accessories and even phones (eg, my Pixel can reverse Qi charge my Sony XM5 buds). Which then brings up the question what sort of advantages NFC will have over Qi. Space is the big advantage but what about efficiency?

        It most certainly is. I can use my phone to charge my Pixel Buds Pro. I’ve done it before. It lets me charge them both at the same time with just one cable, by using my phone as a wireless charging pad.

        Edit: Oh, by “this” you mean NFC charging. Gotcha

      According to the article they’re looking at expanding beyond Qi charging (which is currently supported) to NFC charging, which is not. I don’t know anything about your phone, but I’m guessing it does the former, and not the latter.

      No word on lasers tho.
